Keep Rollin'

Hey y’all.I hope you
had a wonderful Easter with your family! I had some kind of diet break down
starting on Friday and it spiraled out of control over the course of the entire
weekend.Having said that, I decided not
to weigh.I didn’t want to own up to my
bad behavior and didn’t need the negativity.The temptation of wedding food and Easter treats was more than I was
able to juggle.Having said that, I’m
not too discouraged.I’ve certainly had
worse binge-eating weekends and I exercised like crazy.Also, I’m back at it today and my goal is to
have one perfect week and see what the scale says this weekend.Luckily there are no weddings or holidays for
at least a few weeks.

I have to say that stuffing a mixture of yummy ingredients
into a giant lettuce leaf and rolling it up is now one of my favorite past
times.I call this recipe “Italian
Lettuce Roll-Ups.”I took ground turkey
sausage, onion, sun-dried tomato, mushroom, artichokes, olives and
pepperoni.I sauted all of it together and
filled up a big piece of lettuce with it.I used hummus as the base on the lettuce to add another layer of flavor.
It had a nice pizza vibe to it.It was
super filling and delicious.Also, and
this is the best part, it’s so easy to make.

I eat a lot of broccoli so sometimes it helps to jazz it
up.I made some grilled chicken last
week and as a side, I made a broccoli/mushroom side dish.All I did was use non-stick spray to heat up
some broccoli and mushrooms in a skillet.I added some wine to give it more flavor and I have to say it was
delicious.I then poured some of that
wine and enjoyed a glass with my dinner.The combination of wine and mushrooms adds a more meaty flavor to your
veggies.This convinces your mind that
you are full.I will definitely make
this again.

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I went to Tennessee
and my Aunt Phyllis gave me some homemade strawberry preserves.These aren’t slow carb but they are fresh and
organic and totally delicious.I allow
myself a few servings of non-slow carb foods every week so I have been sneaking
some of this in as a treat pretty frequently.The taste of strawberry just explodes in my mouth.

Even though I’m having a bit of guilt about the food I ate,
I had a great weekend.I dyed eggs and
enjoyed Easter and also had fun at Jordan’s sister’s wedding on Saturday. Wish me luck y'all! Until next week...

About Me

I am what my Dad calls a healthy girl who is trying to be less...healthy? None of it makes sense but I am going to attempt to hash it all out here. I love my dog, my family and my friends. Seems silly to tell you much about myself since I will be telling you that sort of thing quite often.
